Hello Everyone,
I'm running the x86_64 bit version of CentOS 4 on a dual AMD Opteron server. The graphics card is an ATI Radeon X300. At the moment, Xorg is configured to use the open source driver, radeon. The server itself is connected to a KVM switch, which has otherwise not caused any issues.
CentOS 4.2 does NOT work with ATI! Period! not x86-64 and x86.. X is completely screwed up. I hope that this will be fixed with 4.3. I had to switch to an nVidia card that works perfectly.
This is not just CentOS, it's X. I had the same problem with Ubuntu, but SuSE worked perfectly without any problem, they have newer drivers.
I tried with the drivers from X and from ATI, same.
If you can live with it, you can edit Xorg.conf and change the driver to VESA, but it's ugly.
